Strongly agree

Yes

The New Zealand Labour Party has historically supported government investment in science, health, and innovation, including biomedical research. For example, under Jacinda Ardern's leadership, Labour increased funding for health research and supported the use of new technologies in healthcare. While Labour is generally cautious about genetic modification in agriculture due to environmental and public concerns, it has been more open to genetic engineering in medical contexts, provided there are strong ethical and regulatory frameworks. This cautious support is reflected in their approach to gene therapies and biomedical innovation.

Strongly disagree

No

Labour would strongly disagree with a blanket refusal to fund genetic engineering research for disease prevention and treatment, as this would contradict their general support for scientific advancement in healthcare. The party has consistently advocated for evidence-based policy and investment in public health innovation. However, their support is not absolute (hence not a -5), as they emphasize the need for robust regulation and public consultation, especially in areas with ethical implications.
